Individuality

Yet another busy week at our school. We had the Rippa Rugby Tournie at Ngati Toa yesterday and the domain lived up to its reputation. Wind, wind and more wind! Team one came forth in the Year 7/8 competition. We won our pool and went on to play Postgate in a thrilling, past paced game. There were a total of 17 tries scored in the game 8 to us and 9 to Postgate (in extra time). Despite our disappointment team one had a great time. Team two won one game drew a game and lost a game in their pool and team three also had great games however losing all of their games in their pool. It is always a great day when we are out of the classroom. It is just the head wind on our way back to school that kind of let us down!

2o!0

Kia Ora and welcome to Room 10 two thousand and ten, or twenty ten. We have just gone through our first full week back at school and things are slowly but surely getting into place.
We have got a busy term coming up and with it being a short term we have got a lot to cram in.
Next week we are going Sailing. This is always a huge success and I know that the year 7's are looking forward to it, as well as the year 8's.
The following week we are off to camp. It is a great experience and also a great time of bonding for the class.
We have a range of sporting events coming up, such as cricket rippa rugby and underwater hockey. There are trials on at the moment for cricket, rippa trials will be on after the camp and underwater hockey trials are on Monday lunchtime.
So "Lets get ready to rumble". There will be some photos and videos up of a lot of the up coming events.

Soundhouse and Parliament

Today we went into Wellington. We caught the 8.26am train and had a very pleasant journey into town, I'm not so sure how the regular commuters felt! After a very quick walk, by our standards, to Capital E Soundhouse, we settled into the our charis and listened to Carl for about half an hour. He gave us the low down on what we could do using Sony Acid. Then he let us loose on the computers. In the two hours we were there some of us manged to make a 30 - 40sec music track. It was just amazing. Our teacher couldn't make up her mind on what she wanted, in the end it wasn't so bad. Next stop was Parliament "The Beehive". We had a luch with a banana and a carrot? We met Miranda who took us on a fantastic tour of Parliament. It is a shame that one of the security guards was easliy annoyed, we have defiantely been louder than that! We caught the 2.30 train back to Pllimmerton and left from the train station. Thanks to the paretn help, Sue and Carole as well as our teachers.
